THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY ORDER:
WRIT PETITION No.16325 of 2007 In this writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents have not been taking action against certain encroachers, who have planted flags over his land.
In the counter affidavit filed by the Sub-Inspector of Police, Tada Police Station, it is inter alia stated that on report dated 04.08.2007 submitted by the petitioner, he has registered Crime No.104 of 2007 for the offences under Sections 143 and 447 IPC on 04.08.2007 and that the investigation prima facie revealed that the accused have committed crime. It is further stated that the investigation is still pending for want of arrest of the accused and that he has assured that he should complete the investigation as expeditiously as possible and file appropriate report before the Magistrate concerned.
At the hearing, neither the learned counsel for the petitioner nor the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home is able to state whether appropriate report has been filed by the police.
In view of expiry of more than 2 ½ years and having regard to the assurance given by the investigating officer that appropriate report will be filed as expeditiously as possible, it is reasonable to presume that such a report would have already been filed. If the final report is not filed so far, respondent No.2 is directed to file the same within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of.
As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.20758 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 25.06.2010. ES
